The Battle Within

작가: Cherrie
last update 게시일: 2026-08-12 16:30:16

The chamber exploded with silver light.

Clover raised both hands as the Shadow King lunged toward her.

BOOM!

A wave of dark magic collided with her shield.

The impact sent her sliding across the stone floor.

“Father!”

For one brief second, Orion’s face returned.

His golden eyes looked at her.

“Clover…”

Then the darkness swallowed him again.

The Shadow King roared.

“You should never have come here!”

He struck the ground.

Black cracks spread beneath Clover’s feet.

She jumped aside just as enormous shadows erupted from the floor.

Her heart raced.

She couldn’t fight him.

Not like this.

He wasn’t completely himself.

Somewhere inside that monster was the father who had loved her mother.

The father who had searched for her.

The father who had asked her to kill him.

Clover lowered her hands.

“I won’t fight you.”

The Shadow King stopped.

His crimson eyes narrowed.

“What?”

“I won’t fight my father.”

A cruel smile appeared on his face.

“Then you will die.”

He charged.

⸻

Clover closed her eyes.

Instead of attacking…

She opened her heart.

The Moon Crown began to glow.

Memories flooded through the chamber.

Her mother’s laughter.

Agnes holding her as a child.

Kael’s hand in hers.

The first time she discovered her magic.

The first time she heard Kael’s wolf call her name.

Every person who had loved her.

Every person she had promised to protect.

The silver light grew brighter.

The Shadow King screamed.

“STOP!”

Clover opened her eyes.

“You said darkness took everything from you.”

She stepped forward.

“But it didn’t.”

The Shadow King staggered.

“You still remember her.”

His expression changed.

For a moment, crimson faded from his eyes.

“Lyra…”

Clover whispered,

“She wouldn’t want this.”

The monster froze.

Then his knees struck the ground.

For a few seconds, Orion returned.

His golden eyes filled with tears.

“Clover…”

She ran toward him.

He caught her in his arms.

“I’m sorry.”

“I am so sorry.”

Clover held him tightly.

“I know.”

Then Orion suddenly pushed her away.

“Run!”

The darkness returned.

His roar shook the chamber.

Clover fell backward.

“No!”

The Shadow King turned toward the silver altar.

The Heart of the First Moon began to crack.

Clover stared in horror.

“If that crystal breaks…”

“The seal will be gone.”

Orion’s voice echoed from somewhere deep inside the monster.

“Destroy it!”

Clover looked at the crystal.

Then at him.

She understood.

There was only one choice.

⸻

She lifted her hand.

Silver magic gathered around her fingers.

The Shadow King charged.

Clover screamed and released the spell.

The Heart of the First Moon shattered.

A blinding explosion filled the chamber.

The Shadow King disappeared inside it.

Clover was thrown against the wall.

Everything went silent.

Then…

A heartbeat.

Thump.

Another.

Thump.

Clover slowly opened her eyes.

A man was standing in front of her.

Not the Shadow King.

Not the monster.

Just Orion.

His golden eyes were peaceful.

His body was beginning to dissolve into silver light.

Clover crawled toward him.

“Father…”

He smiled.

“Look at you.”

“You became everything your mother dreamed you would be.”

Clover sobbed.

“Don’t leave me.”

“I have to.”

“Please.”

Orion touched her cheek.

“I spent two thousand years searching for my family.”

“Now I’ve found you.”

He kissed her forehead.

“That’s enough.”

His body became light.

Clover reached for him.

“Father!”

His final words echoed through the chamber.

“Tell Kael… to protect my daughter.”

Then he was gone.

Clover collapsed.

⸻

Above the temple, the entire mountain suddenly fell silent.

Kael felt the bond between himself and Clover disappear for one terrifying moment.

His heart stopped.

“Clover.”

The Moon Oracle looked toward the temple.

Then her eyes widened.

“The Shadow King…”

“He’s gone.”

Kael didn’t wait.

He ran toward the entrance.

Damon followed.

“Kael!”

The Alpha didn’t stop.

He had only one thought.

Find Clover.

⸻

Deep beneath the temple…

Something moved among the ruins.

A single black feather floated down.

Then a familiar female voice whispered through the darkness.

“Fool.”

A pair of crimson eyes opened.

Selene stepped from the shadows.

She looked toward the shattered Heart of the First Moon.

“You thought destroying the seal would end everything.”

She smiled.

“It only destroyed the prison.”

Behind her…

A massive shadow began to rise.

Selene bowed.

“Welcome, my King.”

The darkness answered with a deep growl.

    Clover froze.The voice echoed through the darkness.“Welcome home, my daughter.”Her heart pounded.For a moment, she couldn’t move.She had imagined meeting her father countless times.She had imagined anger.She had imagined questions.She had even imagined forgiveness.But she had never imagined this.The voice sounded almost… gentle.“Clover.”She slowly continued down the stairs.“Show yourself.”A low chuckle echoed from below.“You have your mother’s courage.”Clover’s fingers tightened around the Moon Crown.“Don’t talk about my mother.”The darkness shifted.Two enormous golden eyes appeared beneath the stairs.Then a figure stepped into the faint silver light.Clover stopped breathing.He was enormous.Tall.Powerful.His black hair fell past his shoulders, and ancient scars covered his chest and arms.

    The howl beneath the mountain grew louder.Another chain snapped.Only one remained.Far below the Temple of Blood, the Shadow King stood in a vast chamber carved entirely from obsidian. Ancient runes glowed red along the walls.At the center of the chamber stood a massive throne.It was made of black stone and wrapped in chains.Orion slowly walked toward it.His long black hair flowed around him like smoke. His golden eyes burned with sorrow and rage.He placed one hand on the throne and whispered,“Lyra…”His voice echoed through the chamber.“I can feel you.”“You’re so close.”“Come to me.”“And break these chains.”The throne responded.The last seal began to weaken.⸻Back in the Silver Forest, the battle was nearing its end.The Bone Legion had been destroyed, but Cassian remained.He stood before Clover, now kneeling.“Sister…” he whispered.Everyone turned in confusion.Lila stared at him.“Sister?”Cassian’s skull tilted upward.“The curse binds me.”“I cannot die unless th

    The final chain trembled.Deep beneath the Temple of Blood, something ancient shifted in the darkness.Clover felt it.A sharp pain suddenly pierced her chest.She gasped and grabbed the crescent pendant around her neck.“He’s awake.”Kael immediately turned toward her.“Who?”Clover looked at the distant mountain.“The Shadow King.”Aiden’s expression hardened.“Not yet.”Everyone looked at him.“One chain remains.”“Then we still have time,” Damon said.Aiden shook his head.“Time for what?”“To stop him.”The Moon Oracle slowly approached Clover.“There is only one person who can enter that temple without being consumed by its darkness.”Clover already knew the answer.“Me.”Kael immediately shook his head.“No.”“I won’t let you go alone.”Selene’s voice suddenly echoed through the forest.“You won’t have a choice.”A black mist appeared between the trees.It twisted and formed the shape of Selene.She smiled at Clover.“Come to the temple before sunrise.”“Bring the Moon Crown.”

  • Clover: The Witch’s Forbidden mate   The Kings Last Memory

    The mournful howl echoed across the mountains.It was so powerful that every wolf in the Silver Forest instinctively lowered their head.Even Kael’s wolf whimpered.The sound wasn’t a challenge.It wasn’t a threat.It was grief.Two thousand years of grief.Clover pressed a hand against her chest as tears slipped down her cheeks.“I know that voice…”She whispered.“I’ve heard it before.”The Moon Oracle looked at her sadly.“Not in this life.”“But in another.”⸻General Cassian stood at the head of the Bone Legion, his empty eye sockets burning with crimson fire.“You hear him, don’t you?”Clover nodded.“He’s calling for someone.”Cassian’s skeletal grin widened.“He’s calling for his queen.”Kael stepped in front of Clover.“Enough.”He pointed his sword at Cassian.“Your war ends here.”Cassian laughed.“The Alpha believes he can stop destiny.”“No.”“You can only decide how much blood will be spilled before it arrives.”With a wave of his hand, thousands of skeletal soldiers cha

    The voice echoed through the ancient prison.“At last… the Moon Queen has returned.”The sound rolled through the mountains like distant thunder.Every bird in the Silver Forest took flight.The earth trembled beneath Clover’s feet.Far below the Temple of Blood, another chain snapped.Clang!The sound was deafening.The Moon Oracle staggered backward, her face drained of color.“No…”“It’s beginning.”Kael caught her before she fell.“What is happening?”The Oracle stared toward the distant mountain.“The prison is weakening.”“If another seal breaks…”She couldn’t finish the sentence.⸻The battlefield had fallen silent.Neither the Shadow Legion nor the wolves moved.Everyone stared at Aiden.Clover slowly stepped toward him.“You said… the Shadow King is still alive.”Aiden nodded.“He has slept beneath the Temple of Blood for two thousand years.”“Then why would anyone want to free him?”Aiden’s silver eyes darkened.“Because they believe he will give them unlimited power.”“But
